The soybean checkoff actively supports animal agriculture, because it directly impacts economic growth. Livestock and poultry support our local economy by generating more demand for our soybeans. In fact livestock and poultry are the country’s number one soybean meal customer, which means more profit opportunities for soybean farmers in our communities.
